I'm trying to have all my views inherit from a custom class so that I can add certain behaviour and values to all pages, but I'm having some issues. I tried subclassing System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage but I'm forced to implement an Execute procedure that I don't know what it should do. Also, if I try to access the Context variable, I get a null reference (really weird). This leads me to think that I may have the wrong base class.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to inherit all my controllers from a custom base class that I write myself. I can change the line every time I add a new controller, but it would be nicer if I could somewhere specify the default value that gets set there. That way I wouldn't need to worry about forgetting this, and other people who get added to the project later on would have an easier time.
View 3 RepliesWould like to add a third party test framework (such as NUnit or MbUnit) to the drop-down list of test projects for the ASP.NET MVC3 type project in Visual Studio 2010.
This had worked before for ASP.NET MVC2 and prior, but the msdn instructions are not accurate and does not work. Creating the registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER seem to delete the keys every time the VS-2010 starts, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE does not follow the same tree structure.
how to add a third party framework under ASP.NET MVC3?
With Razor, how do you conditionally quit or end or return or break a partial view?
@if (Model == null)
{
return;
}
, i created a html helper in mvc3 project with razor view
[Code]....
and i am using this in view but error is occuring.
but it works in aspx view engine and mvc2.
I have the following entity object:
[Code]....
Then I have page that would has a list of ForumPost(s) and and edit option, all on one page. To achieve this I've created a CommentsViewModel that extends "ForumPost" class like so:
[Code]....
This way on my view I can have a list of ForumPost(s) and a form that would edit the post.This is what i see in the debug mode right before the save call:The problem is that when I try to Save/Update I get the following error:I already tried doing this:
[Code]....
with no luck. for some reason downcasting doesn't work and the model or row are still of type CommentsViewModel instead of ForumPost
We have a modular architecture where we have some views (cshtml) files in a separate project (class library). How can we get the syntax highlighting and autocomplete to work when the project isn't an MVC project?
note that the class library has controllers, views, models etc. It just doesn't have the web.config, global.asax, etc that a normal mvc project would have.
The intellisense works for everything but the so important model:
With MVC3 RTM, if you hover over the Model, you can now get a better error message:
[code]....
Then after adding the build provider, this error message appears:
[code]....
I can have a base class for views in an MVC project like this:
public class BaseViewPage : System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}
And then in the ASPX I can do this:
<%@ Page Something="foo" Language="C#" Inherits="MyNamespace.BaseViewPage" %>
This works fine; the problem is when I try to do the same with the generic version:
public class BaseViewPage<TModel> : System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TModel> where TModel : class
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}
When I try to use this from the ASPX, like this:
<%@ Page Something="foo" Language="C#" Inherits="MyNamespace.BaseViewPage<SomeClass>" %>
I get the error message:
Error parsing attribute 'something': Type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage' does not have a public property named 'something'.
Notice how it tries to use System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage rather than my BaseViewPage class. To make it more interesting, if I remove the "Something" attribute from the Page directive and put some code in the generic version of BaseViewPage (OnInit for example) the class is actually called / used / instantiated.
So, am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation.
I have an aspx web page that renders correctly. When converted to razor, it does not. Here is a simplified example (stripped of all extraneous stuff).
aspx:
<asp:Content ID="indexContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="ToolContent" runat="server">
<% string test = "<div><b>Tag Test</b></div>"; %>
<h2><%= test %></h2>
</asp:Content>
razor:
@section ToolContent {
@{ string test = "<div><b>Tag Test</b></div>"; }
<h2>@test</h2>
}
The aspx renders as expected. The razor just displays the content of "test" (<div><b>Tag Test</b></div>) in the header tag.
I assume that my understanding of razor is flawed. If someone could enlighten me and/or show me a solution/work around.
Why are Razor views not generated as partial classes? Making them partial classes gives us the option to have a code behind where we can do some of the stuff we're forced to do in the template itself in the code behind file.
Yes, I know the standard "go-to" thing is Html helper but I don't want to use Html helpers for these things as they are too specific to the view in question and besides, having a clutter of extension methods is just not the way to go.
I'd like to see Razor views generated as partial classes.
I am new in asp .net.I am not able to undestand why we call base class method when we
override methods/events.Like automatically visual studio will put base.OnInit() if you are overriding OnInit.
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
}
same is the case of Finalize. In derived we call base.Finalize() Is there any need of calling these base class methods ?
I currently trying to convert a ASP.NET MVC2 application to ASP.NET MVC3 razor. I have a lot custom Html helper methods, which render html output, like the one below, which renders a button with some markup :
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<input type='submit' id='") .Append(buttonId) .Append("' name='" ) .Append(buttonId) .Append("' value='") .Append(buttonValue) .AppendLine("' class='myclass1 myclass2' />");return MvcHtmlString.Create(sb.ToString());
Since we can access the private data member of base class in the derived class with the help of friend function. How can we do the same in C# asp.net? I mean whats the alternative of friend function in C# asp.net
View 2 RepliesUsing the following Webservice definition using aClientArgs as a complex type:
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class Controller : System.Web.Services.WebService {
[WebMethod]
public void save_client(aClientArgs client)
{
// Save client data
}
}
Then defining aClientArgs as a sub-class:
public class aArgs
{
public string id = null;
public string name = null;
}
public class aClientArgs : aArgs
{
public string address = null;
public string website = null;
}
Returns the following WSDL fragment for the save_client args:
<save_client xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<client>
<address>string</address>
<website>string</website>
</client>
</save_client>
When I'm expecting the following:
<save_client xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<client>
<id>string</id>
<name>string</name>
<address>string</address>
<website>string</website>
</client>
</save_client>
So it appears that the .NET WebService is not treating inherited properties as arguments/variables for purposes of a web service. How do I get .NET to also use the properties of the base class?
In my MVC project, I am trying to setup a base product class that will be inherited by a more specific class later. Here is my scenario. I have a table called ProductBase, it contains three fields, BaseProductId(PK), CatalogNum, and ListPrice. Every product in the system will share these attributes. Next, I have a table called Shirt, with three fields BaseProductId(PK, FK), Color, and Size.
I then setup an Entity Data Model that pulled in both of these tables and created classes BaseProduct and Shirt. So, in my model, I want to do something like this:
[Code]....
The main problem I have with this, is that if I do any kind of condition on CatalogNum or ListPrice, then my performance goes to crap. One of the main things we will want to do is something like this:
[Code]....
This takes an enormous performance hit, and I suspect it is because the partial class above returns to the database for each shirt.
The other problem I have with this approach, is that I cannot force the properties for the Shirt. What if I make a change to the BaseProduct? What happens when I have multiple product types, will I have to repeat this code? I assume I will need to make a change with the entity data model, but I am unsure where to begin.
I have looked all over for elegant solutions to this not so age-old question. How can I lock down form elements within an ASP.Net MVC View, without adding if...then logic all over the place? Ideally the BaseController, either from OnAuthorization, or OnResultExecultion, would check the rendering form elements and hide/not render them based on role and scope. Another approach I have considered is writing some sort of custom attributes, so as to stay consistent with how how we lock down ActionResults with [Authorize]. Is this even possible without passing a list of hidden objects to the view and putting if's all over? Other background info: We will have a database that will tell us at execution time (based on user role/scope) what elements will be hidden. We are using MVC3 with Razor Viewengine. We're utilizing a BaseController where any of the Controller methods can be overridden.

When you create a webpage in ASP.net, the codebase inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Now when I extend the page object to check for SessionExpired for example, I create a new class and inherit from system.web.ui.page, and overwrite some functions.
The problem then is that on each page, I have to replace system.web.ui.page with my custompage class.
Is there a way to extend a class by adding methods or modifying its methods directly (e.g. add the sessionExpired check to System.Web.UI.Page) ?
I'm using .NET 2.0
<span class="abc">abc</span>
I want to have @postid as well in there so that the name of the class is generated as abc123. How can i do that?
I want to add a custom base class for all of my web forms. I created a "App_code" folder in my asp.net web project and add a simple base page class like this:
namespace MySite.Web
{
// base page for all the pages that need localization
public class LocalizationPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
base.InitializeCulture();
}
}
}
And then I try to let asp.net web form to inherit from this base page. I have something like this:
using MySite.Web;
namespace MySite.Public
{
public partial class RegisterPage : LocalizationPage
{
}
}
Now I run into problem where Visual Studio doesn't recognize the LocalizationPage class I created. On the above code snippet, LocalizationPage is not highlighted as a class. And when I try to compile, I got the following error message:
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'LocalizationPage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have an asp.net usercontrol (ascx) that inherits from an abstract class (that inherits from a UserControl). My Project is in a 3-tier architecture (DAL -> Bll -> UI/Views). Currently there are no class files in the UI layer (other than the code-behinds). Which layer should I add this abstract class to?
View 2 RepliesFirst off, I am wondering if this is possible. I read slight grumblings around the internet about this, but I was not entirely sure.
My scenario: I have a base chart class which has some methods which all charts should have.
public partial class BaseChart : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
public BaseChart()
{
}
public void ToggleLegend()
{
Chart1.Legends[0].Enabled = !Chart1.Legends[0].Enabled;
}
}
There is also some mark-up for this BaseChart -- setting background colors, etc. All charts which inherit BaseChart should use this starting mark-up and be able to build upon it.
I would then like to do this:
public partial class HistoricalLineChart : BaseChart
{
public HistoricalLineChart()
: base()
{
public HistoricalLineChart(int reportID)
: base()
{
Chart1.Titles[0].Text = "Hello World";
}
}
where HistoricalLineChart is a web user control with no mark-up e.g. "HistoricalLineChart.ascx"
The problem is that Chart1 is undefined when in HistoricalLineChart's scope. Is there something that I am missing here?
I am successfully injecting base class properties with spring.net with just a class that inherits from a base abstract class. Lets say Class MyClass : MyBase, and I am successfully setting a property like this:
<object id="myInstantiableClass" type="myAssembly.MyClass myAssenbly" abstract="true">
<property name="MyBaseClassProperty" ref="anotherObjRef"></property> </object>
Where MyBaseClassProperty is a property on the base class. Now I have another abstract class between the old base class and the instantiable class and I am trying to set properties on both the abstract classes. So MyClass : MyNewBaseClass and MyNewBaseClass : MyBaseClass. I have an additional property on the new base class (MyNewBaseClassProperty) and I am trying to inject it like this:
<object id="myInstantiableClass" type="myAssembly.MyClass myAssenbly" abstract="true">
<property name="MyBaseClassProperty" ref="anotherObjRef"></property>
<property name="MyNewBaseClassProperty" ref="someOtherObjRef"></property>
</object>
The property on the old base class is being injected but the one on the new one is not - and I am not getting an error or anything (so I am pretty sure my config is good), that property is just null! I am on asp.net (not MVC) and the class MyClass is a user control (ascx).
